Write About A Childhood Meal

 

Of course the problem with blogging is that you must...well...uh...blog. I won't complain about my life because I know that we all have hectic lives. So I wanted to revive something from the time of the dinosaurs when MySpace was a social networking force to be reckoned with. I thought I'd post a writing exercise from time to time. So here's the first one:

The Table

Begin a poem or piece of prose by bringing to life a particular meal or food from your. Choose a meal or the eating or gathering of a food that may have been ordinary but memorable. Perhaps someone makes an announcement, maybe someone walks into the scene, someone was fired and it's blurted out, maybe the food is horrible, maybe someone announces they are leaving.etc. 

Three rules:

1) Include the sensory details of the  food .

2) Include the physical details of the food (the peeling, touching, preparing, gathering, eating of it)

3) Make sure something happens (something always has to happen)

Feel free to share your response here or to keep it to yourself.

Happy Wednesday Writing.
